From high-profile intelligence leaks, to revelations of widespread data-mining, our obsessive relationship with screens has suddenly taken on a political dimension.
Increasingly, the world around us resembles Dick's dystopian police state in which the police combine widespread surveillance, behavior prediction technologies, data mining and precognitive technology to capture would-be criminals before they can do any damage.
But the inner workings of this surveillance economy remain largely opaque to the public despite the recent revelations of widespread government data-mining of people's phone and e-mail records.
Data mining indicates that the enzyme may be widespread among microorganisms from different sources, as highly similar sequences were also isolated from the Sargasso sea during a shotgun sequencing project [68].
Big data mining of bacterial genomes has shown that positive selection is more widespread at the molecular level than expected under a restrictive interpretation of the neutral theory [ 3].
Rather, these approaches comprise data mining or "fishing expeditions" the goal of which is to predict widespread novel TAS that so far have not been discovered by experimental approaches.
In his recent report on government data mining, Prof. Fred Cate, director of Indiana University's Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, cautions against the widespread appeal of such techniques, which have resulted in the misidentification of innocent individuals and the failure to catch the "bad guys".
Use of p-values is widespread in the sciences, especially so in biomedical research, and also underlies several analytic approaches in data mining.
SPARQL serves as an RDF query language and data access protocol for the Semantic Web with the ability to locate and retrieve specific information across widespread databases as well as generate query reports that can be directly analyzed by network visualization and data mining applications.
Information security is gaining widespread importance in distributed decision support systems [T.S. Raghu, and H. Chen, Cyberinfrastructure for homeland security: Advances in information sharing, data mining, and collaboration systems. Decision Support Systems 43 (2007) 1321 1323].
